If you would like to leave a testimonial about your experience with Home Evolutions, feel free to contact us.
"We first met Harry Burns when we contacted Home Evolutions concerning a house that we were interested in purchasing. Harry came out to inspect the house and provide insight into the possibility of creating a wheelchair accessible home. We were immediately impressed with Harry’s passion and enthusiasm. His experience in all aspects of construction coupled with his desire to promote independence for individuals with varying abilities made him ideal for the project.
"We felt confident in purchasing the house after discussions with Harry and renovations began soon after the closing. The renovations were extensive and diverse. The floor plan was opened up by creating new doorways and widening existing ones. The modifications also entailed raising the floor in the sunken living room and building a custom hardwood radius surrounding the fireplace. A sweeping front walk was created to provide a zero-step entry that complemented the existing design of the house. Thresholds between rooms of different floor types were eliminated to provide smooth transitions for a wheelchair user. The kitchen was modified to be not only accessible, but also usable by a person in a wheelchair. Pull-out shelves, a roll-under sink and a roll-under cook top make our kitchen truly functional. Since the existing structure of the house did not entirely meet our needs, a master suite addition was constructed. This addition consists of a bedroom and a fully accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower.
"We wanted to avoid the institutional look that says 'disabled'. Harry’s solutions were innovative, extremely tasteful, and aesthetically pleasing. The craftsmanship and quality of the things he built for us are unquestionable.
The master suite addition blends with the rest of the house seamlessly and people comment frequently on what an awesome job Harry did. We have heard a lot of people complaining about contractors, but Harry was great. He was always available when we had questions and really took the time to understand our needs. He always made sure that we had access to the house no matter what work was being done (we had not moved in when the renovations began). After we moved in, both Harry and his sub-contractors were extremely courteous about working with us, accommodating our schedule and routines. Customer service is one of the foundations of Harry’s business and we could not have asked for more.
Thanks to Harry Burns, we are living in the home of our dreams."
